Early bird: 4 tips to secure a spot in poly with EAE

Ms Shaanthinii Chandramogan (far right) took on the role of a producer during her internship at Resorts World Sentosa at Halloween Horror Nights 12 on Nov 2, 2024. PHOTO: COURTESY OF SHAANTHINII CHANDRAMOGAN Early bird: 4 tips to secure a spot in poly with EAE The TL;DR: An ITE graduate who succeeded in the poly Early Admissions Exercise says it's critical to take advantage of every experience – even the bad ones – to make your application shine. During her final year at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), Ms Shaanthinii Chandramogan got a second shot at securing her polytechnic placement via the E arly A dmissions E xercise (EAE), and made it count. In Secondary 5 , she successfully applied for Ngee Ann Polytechnic's early childhood development and education course through the EAE, but had her conditional offer revoked after failing to meet the admission criteria. She went to ITE instead. For two years, Ms Chandramogan was enrolled in the Higher Nitec in hospitality operations course and hoped to continue pursuing it in polytechnic. In 2021, she was offered her first choice – Nanyang Polytechnic's (NYP) diploma in hospitality and tourism management – through EAE. Current final-year ITE students can apply for the 2025 EAE from June 12 to 18. Ms Chandramogan, now 23 and set to start university soon , shares four tips on how to strengthen your EAE application. 1. It's good to prepare a portfolio, even if your desired course doesn't require one. Although a portfolio was not compulsory for her diploma, Ms Chandramogan created a simple website and Google D rive featuring photographs, certificates and reflections from past activities – such as her secondary school Girl Guides co-curricular activity (CCA) and community service leadership programme Mission X in ITE . 'Hospitality and tourism courses have a large chunk of event planning involved, so I wanted to show that I already had some relevant exposure. 'Even for non-art courses, you can still create a portfolio about your CCAs and experiences.' Ms Janice Neo, assistant director of communication and outreach at NYP, said: 'ITE students usually graduate with valuable hands-on experience and practical skills. 'They should showcase any course-relevant projects, internships, or work experience from their time at ITE in their application and interview.' At NYP, portfolios are mandatory only for all School of Design and Media courses. 2. No activity is too small when it comes to demonstrating your interest. Relating her experiences to the hospitality and tourism management industry, Ms Chandramogan listed a variety of roles in her application. These included leadership positions, participation in fund-raising projects, emceeing and volunteer work. 'For hospitality, people will also say that they helped their family host a dinner party, which might seem small, but it's the little things that add up. 'Even helping to design a poster for your classroom shows your genuine passion for the course.' She also recommended LinkedIn as a platform for ITE students to list their skills and knowledge. Ms Neo said : 'Students with relevant background have a great advantage, but unique experiences and passion can make any application stand out just as much.' 3. Be ready to elaborate on any points highlighted in your application. Ms Chandramogan focused on supplementing responses to possible questions about her portfolio. 'Whatever you include, be ready to substantiate it,' she said. Apart from talking about her six-month internship working at a hotel, she recalled having to briefly describe how she prepared for past emceeing gigs and overcame nervousness. She recommended formulating responses to potential interview questions in advance, but cautioned against having 'memorised' answers. Ms Shaanthinii Chandramogan delivering a speech during her polytechnic graduation ceremony in May 2025. PHOTO: COURTESY OF SHAANTHINII CHANDRAMOGAN Despite applying to different polytechnics and courses, Ms Chandramogan and her twin sister, who both participated in the EAE in 2021 , would exchange feedback on their application write-ups, portfolios and interview answers. She noted that the way she spoke and presented herself during the interview mattered as well. 'Try not to use Singlish – the interviewers don't expect you to be perfect but make sure you get the basics right.' 4. Don't be afraid to talk about your flaws or negative experiences. Shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview, which can be conducted solo or in groups. For Ms Chandramogan, it was an online meeting with two lecturers and around five other applicants from ITE. When requested to recount either a good or bad aspect of their internship, most of the other interviewees opted to share a favourable experience. 'It was the safe choice, so I almost did it too,' said Ms Chandramogan. However, she made the quick decision to bring up a difficult interaction she had with a customer who accused the hotel staff of stealing her wallet. Ms Chandramogan talked about how dealing with the customer over a phone call helped her become a 'better hospitality worker '. She recalled seeing the lecturers smile at her after hearing her response and felt that she stood a stronger chance afterwards. 'Don't shy away from talking about experiences that show growth. 'Lecturers also have experience in the industry so they appreciate the honesty and reflection over a perfect answer.' Ms Neo said: 'ITE students have solid foundations in skills-based learning and are encouraged to show their strong technical skills, good problem-solving abilities, and the ability to apply what they've learnt in real-world situations.' What you need to know about EAE applications Offers are given before the O-level examinations or the release of the final g rade p oint a verage (GPA) for Nitec or Higher Nitec. However, they are conditional – students must fulfil certain requirements to confirm their admission. Applicants must meet a net aggregate score (ELR2B2) of 26 points or better for all diplomas outside of nursing for the O-level examinations, as well as the minimum entry requirements of the course they are offered. Meanwhile, final-year ITE students have to attain a final net GPA of 2.0 or better for Higher Nitec, or 3.5 or better for Nitec . Join ST's WhatsApp Channel and get the latest news and must-reads.

Secondary school dropout, 36, graduates top of his cohort at Republic Polytechnic

When Mr Muhammad Haikal Nekla dropped out of secondary school at 16 due to family issues and began working full-time to help support them, he intended to go back to complete his education some day. He made good on the promise only many years later. "When I made the decision to drop out, I told my principal that I would continue my education one day, but I never got around to it," he said. A discussion with some Republic Polytechnic (RP) interns he was supervising at the restaurant chain where he worked spurred him to return to school at the age of 33, in 2021. "They shared that (polytechnics) took a more hands-on approach to learning, where theories are applied to real-life problems. That was what interested me the most," said Mr Haikal, who was then an assistant manager at Fish & Co. After more than 15 years of working as waiter, barista and manager in the food and beverage (F&B) industry, Mr Haikal enrolled in RP's diploma of restaurant and culinary operations programme in 2022 via the Early Admissions Exercise, which is open to working adults. In May, the 36-year-old became the valedictorian of RP's School of Hospitality with a grade point average of 3.79. He was among more than 4,500 graduates from 79 diploma programmes across the polytechnic. Mr Haikal was worried at first about fitting in with the other students, as he was more than twice the age of some of them. But he soon earned their respect, and his schoolmates affectionately called him "Uncle Haikal". He also had to make some sacrifices to go back to school. Mr Haikal, who is not married, had to dip into his savings during his time to polytechnic to care for his mother and grandmother. Fortunately, he received financial support to pay his school fees via a bursary in his first-year and the bond-free Sands Hospitality Scholarship for his second and third years. Still, he continued to work, clocking in 16 hours weekly as a part-time supervisor at Fish & Co to support his family. He said: "My mum was briefly hospitalised in 2022 and my grandmother had kidney failure in 2023, so I had a lot on my plate." Having to care for his family while working and studying meant that he would sometimes sleep for only four hours a day. "Some days, I would come home from work or school to complete my assignments. Then at midnight, I would take a taxi to my grandmother's place to take care of her." Mr Muhammad Haikal and his mother during his Republic Polytechnic graduation ceremony. PHOTO: COURTESY OF MUHAMMAD HAIKAL When asked what got him through that period of time, he gave props to his family and friends: "I'm not too sure how I got through it either, but it helped that I had support from the people around me." Mr Haikal said that one of the reasons he succeeded academically in RP was his industry experience. "The curriculum was designed so that my experience gave me a strong foundation," he said. He also learnt from his younger schoolmates. "Even though they are much younger than I am, they can still do some things better than I can, and I've been able to absorb and learn from," he added. His biggest takeaway from his time at RP is this: "It doesn't matter how old you are - it's important to be open-minded. Whether you're young or old, there's always something to learn and take away from others." Mr Muhammad Haikal (second row, middle) and his friends during his Republic Polytechnic graduation ceremony. PHOTO: REPUBLIC POLYTECHNIC With his diploma has come a chance for him to make a career pivot - Mr Haikal has been accepted into the National University of Singapore's College of Humanities and Sciences, where he plans to study for a bachelor's degree in social work. "I don't think that F&B and social work are that different. You're able to interact with and learn the stories of people from all walks of life," he said. "The main difference is that I'm able to walk with them through their journeys as a social worker."

Nanyang Polytechnic introduces Singapore's First Common Programme in Business, IT and Engineering

First-of-its-kind in Singapore, it allows learners articulation into diplomas in three Schools. Programme is one of five new NYP options for the 2025 Early Admissions Exercise. SINGAPORE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, learners can opt for and enrol in the new Common Business & Technology Programme (CBTP) offered by Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP). Approved by the Ministry of Education, the new programme will be offered for the first time at the upcoming Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) next month. The CBTP has innovatively structured the first semester so that entrants can articulate to diplomas in three separate NYP Schools: Business Management, IT and Engineering (or BITE). Learners will take interdisciplinary modules like Applied Business Fundamentals & Communication, Programming, and UX Design in Web Development in the first semester. After a taster of all three disciplines, they can make informed choices and select their preferred diploma in the three Schools to pursue. "We believe in empowering learners with the choice to shape their own polytechnic journey," said Mr Russell Chan, Principal and CEO of NYP. "We call it our 'programme with bite!' Why? It's powerful: it gives learners room to explore their interests in three distinctively different disciplines, discover their strengths, and make confident choices about their future." "We're proud to be the first polytechnic in Singapore to offer this cross-school programme, and we're excited to see how it opens new doors for a new generation of learners." Navigating post-secondary education can be challenging for learners who are still unsure about their pathways. This is perhaps why Common Entry Programmes (CEPs) have gained popularity since their introduction in 2017. Today, 30 per cent of the cohort enrolling into Polytechnics choose CEPs to start their polytechnic life. These Programmes allow learners to spend one or two semesters learning fundamental modules before deciding on their specialised diplomas. However, all previous CEPs in local polytechnics have been School-based. This means that learners would go on to specialise in their chosen academic School's disciplines. For example, a learner who enrols in NYP's Common Engineering Programme would then choose among the School of Engineering's diplomas, such as Aerospace Engineering, AI & Data Engineering, or Sustainability in Engineering with Business. NYP's new Programme becomes the 26th Common Entry Programme to be offered across the five polytechnics in Singapore. It is one of five new options that NYP is offering for learners starting polytechnic next year in AY2026. Applications for all these courses will be open at the upcoming EAE. The other new courses are: 1. Diploma in Biomedical Science with Analytics With data being critical in the decision-making process, particularly for the healthcare sector where time is of essence, the demand for professionals who can bridge science and analytics is ever increasing. The new Diploma in Biomedical Science with Analytics combines biomedical fundamentals with applied data skills, enabling learners to analyse complex biological datasets to support research, diagnostics, and innovation in healthcare. Beyond equipping learners with skills in diagnostic and clinical research, graduates will also be equipped with practical skills in AI and data analytics, bioinformatics and biomedical research to put them at the forefront of the biomedical industry. Through partnerships with leading healthcare institutions and research facilities in Singapore, learners will gain hands-on experience working with real-world biological datasets and analytical tools. 2. Diploma in Cloud Engineering The cloud engineering industry is estimated to grow more than 14 per cent annually, and be worth US$1,066 billion globally by 2031[1]. With cloud platforms now underpinning everything from e-commerce to entertainment, the demand for cloud engineers continues to surge. NYP's new Diploma in Cloud Engineering is the only polytechnic course in Singapore that integrates both hardware and software knowledge and skills, preparing tomorrow's cloud engineers with the skills to design, build and manage the infrastructure that powers digital transformation across various industries. Learners will gain hands-on experience through projects and internships with industry leaders in cloud technology like GovTech and Singtel-Nxera, and be equipped with industry-recognised certifications from AI Singapore. 3. Diploma in Media & Communication Management In a media landscape driven by digital platforms and rapid content cycles, communicators must be strategic, agile, and tech-savvy. The Diploma in Media & Communication Management will train learners at thinking holistically about strategic communication, craft compelling messages, manage brand narratives, and execute integrated campaigns across multiple channels. Learners will gain practical experience not just in the aspect of media and communications like content creation, public relations, and communications strategy, but also business management fundamentals, preparing them for dynamic roles in branding, media, corporate communications and beyond. They will be able to put these skills into practice through internships and projects with the likes of Mediacorp, SGAG, and Mothership. 4. Diploma in Business Management: New Specialisations in AI, Psychology A McKinsey report in 2025[2] found that while nearly all companies invest in AI, only one per cent consider themselves mature in AI integration – not due to a lack of technology or talent, but a shortfall in strategic leadership and human-centred thinking. To equip our learners with future-ready skills needed to thrive in the everchanging landscape, NYP's Diploma in Business Management will offer two new specialisations from academic year 2026 (commencing Apr 2026) – AI & Business Digitalisation and Business Psychology. The only business diploma in Singapore that allows learners to start specialising from year two, the diploma also boasts the largest number of specialisations – seven – among local polytechnics. Beyond the two new specialisations, learners can choose from existing specialisations like International Business, Human Capital Management, E-Commerce & Retail, Supply Chain & Logistics Management, and Marketing. More information on all five new course offerings is found in the Annexes. Enrolment into these new programmes starts in June 2025, through the EAE. For more information, visit NYP's EAE Festival on campus on 30 and 31 May 2025, or FACT SHEETS ANNEX A All of NYP's new diploma offerings are taught under its unique Professional Competency Model – as its name suggests, it is about ensuring that graduates emerge with skills that address real world needs alongside theoretical knowledge. This integrated approach means that subjects are not taught in isolation but are combined in practical, real-world scenarios. For instance, when learners work on assignments and projects, they simultaneously apply technical knowledge, data analysis skills, and business communication as they develop solutions and present recommendations. Through partnerships with industry leaders, learners will undergo curriculum that is co-developed and co-taught by experts in their field. They will also receive industry-recognised co-certificates that put them a step ahead of their peers. Common Business & Technology Programme (CBTP) School of Business Management, School of Engineering, School of Information Technology This new cross-disciplinary common entry programme helps address a common challenge faced by post-secondary learners who are uncertain about their preferred diploma. Many O-Level graduates, while possessing strong academic foundations, often find it challenging to choose between business, engineering, or technology pathways. The CBTP provides these learners with the unique opportunity to experience all three disciplines firsthand, allowing them to make more informed decisions about their academic and career trajectories based on actual experience rather than preconceptions. Learners who enrol in the CBTP will learn the fundamentals for all three disciplines in their first semester, before selecting one discipline to pursue. Those who choose the business discipline will pursue a Diploma in Business Management, while learners with interest in engineering or technology will be posted to the Common Engineering Programme or the Common ICT Programme respectively. This group of learners will undergo another semester in the common entry programme and take on more domain-specific modules, before deciding on their preferred Engineering or IT diploma to pursue from Year 2. As part of the programme, learners will also go through a series of education and career guidance (ECG) activities, including school immersion activities, career profiling, and mentorship, to guide them in making confident and informed choices about their learning path. ANNEX B Diploma in Biomedical Science with Analytics (DBMSA) School of Applied Science With hands-on experience in analysing datasets and leveraging analytical tools, DBMSA learners are skilled in handling both laboratory and analytical work. The programme's industry-aligned curriculum ensures graduates are ready to contribute in clinical research organisations, pharmaceutical companies, or healthcare technology firms. They will be equipped to support data-driven decision-making in healthcare, contribute to biomedical lab research, and drive innovation in diagnostic technologies. Graduates of the Diploma programme can sit for the International Medical Laboratory Technician MLT(ASCPi) certification examinations offered by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP). This internationally recognised qualification is highly valued, being a benchmark of excellence for laboratory professionals across more than 30 nations. Having this certification enhances one's prospects for both job opportunities and career growth within the healthcare sector. ANNEX C Diploma in Cloud Engineering (DCE) School of Engineering Cloud engineers are the brains that power the tech behind the likes of Netflix and Spotify. Additionally, businesses and government agencies are also moving operations and data to the cloud for scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, bringing about an increasing need for skilled and versatile individuals. DCE prepares learners for more than just data centre management. In addition to key domain skillsets in cloud engineering such as cloud architecture, automation and cybersecurity, it also equips them with significant transferrable skills in innovation, sustainability, digitalisation and AI, which aligns with broader digital sustainability efforts in Singapore. As Singapore continues its Smart Nation journey, DCE graduates will be well-positioned to support various sectors in their cloud adoption and digital transformation efforts, contributing effectively to Singapore's growing digital economy. ANNEX D Diploma in Media & Communication Management (DMCM) School of Business Management DMCM equips learners with competencies in the likes of business communication and innovation, business intelligence and data science, digital media communication, on top of hard skills in media design and production. Learners graduate as all-rounders in media, communications and business – opening doors for hybrid roles and multiple pathways for further studies. Through partnerships with prominent media organisations, the public sector, and businesses, learners can hone their ability to produce compelling content that educates, amuses, and motivates audiences. They also gain hands-on experience through industry-based projects, learn from seasoned professionals during guest sessions, and build valuable connections whilst staying current with emerging media trends. For example, year one learners can enhance their presentation abilities through workshops with SPH Radio, with the opportunity to work alongside evening radio presenters. ANNEX E Diploma in Business Management (DBM) School of Business Management The dual specialisation structure in a business management diploma addresses a growing industry need for hybrid talent – professionals who are agile, adaptable, and able to work across disciplines. As the business landscape evolves, graduates will need more than technical knowledge. They will need the ability to think creatively, analyse trends, and understand people. The new AI & Business Digitalisation specialisation offers learners hands-on learning opportunities with low-code digital tools, empowering them to create business apps and digital solutions with ease. By demystifying technologies like predictive analytics and automation, learners gain the confidence to apply digital strategies in real-world settings – with no technical background required. In the new Business Psychology specialisation, learners explore areas such as consumer behaviour, user experience (UX), and organisational psychology – skills that are increasingly vital for companies seeking to enhance customer experience and manage workplace change.
